Customer Question

I have a Sony VAIO...

I have a Sony VAIO PCG-Z1XSP laptop, running Windows XP with all new service packs (SP4), and I'm trying to use a new external SAMSUNG 943N (SyncMaster) 19 inch monitor. I have connected the monitor up to the computer using the monitor cable and rebooted the laptop (with the monitor switched on). During reboot, there is no activity from the monitor. When I press FN+F7, a response appears on the bottom of the laptop screen saying NUR LCD (with an LCD icon). I select this, but the external monitor remains blank. The monitor works on a desktop PC successfully, I just cannot use it on the VAIO

Hi John, Thank you for your expertise and, more important, for your kindness because they make me, almost, look forward to my next computer problem. After the next problem comes, I'll be delighted to correspond again with you. I'm told that I excel at programing. But system administration has never been one of my talents. So it's great to have an expert to rely on when the computer decides to stump me. God bless, Bill
